Decorating Mandalas Second Part

Making a Mandala - Step by Step 3

Yeahhhh!!! We arrived to the end.

 

So I finish the squares and now I'll be doing circles with the same colors I've been weaving the Mandala with a total of 7 circles of four times each.

 

With green color we can weave in the same way we did in the center, the start figure, by passing through the yard in each end, but always leaving 2 ends empty of yarn. As you’ll see, the ends will get weaved and in the back end you’ll get a beautiful and creative web/pattern.

 

I continue weaving the star until all ends get the yarn pass through. Later with the same I did a circle of 3 turns.

We covered the 8 ends and it can be included a hanging that can be done with any of the yarns used in the Mandala. Some people use a ring, but that depends on our desired. For both the hanging and the covered ends, I use a little bit of glue to ensure that no yarn will get out.

For more specifics on the completion of a Mandala, you can check on the entry “How to decorate the Mandalas – First Part”.

Coming soon I’ll be including some new forms to decorate. Cheers

 

How to decorate the Mandalas - Third Part

Hello Followers!


We continue with the finishing touches to make fancy our Mandalas. Below you can find a picture of how we can embellish our tassels with different things such as,

- Beads
- Bronze Beads of medium size

- Rattles or shakers, etc. etc.


Especially, anything you’ll like and can find, and in particular should have holes at both ends.

The tassels are made with a very fine yarn, which is the one I used to create the Mandala.

Feel free to ask for any doubts. I’ll be more than happy to help you. Simply leave a comment and I’ll answer as soon as possible.

 

 

Making a Mandala - Step by Step 2

We continue weaving the star and here is where one can drive out its own creativity. We can put the quantity of colors that we'll like most. I usually prefer to work as if this is a flower of many colors. Here I wanted to use 3 colors.

Once we finish the star, now is time to change of color and weave a circle. The way we'll be weaving here is the same one used at the beginning to place together the two 4 sided figures and obtain the 8 sided figure. 

Here we can see that I completed 2 weaving circles, one in green and another one in light blue. So now we can start doing the square and the first color I selected is the violet. You should start by one end of the upper 4 sided figure.

I completed the violet square, so now I would like to go with the light lila, in the other way round than the violet one. We continue weaving in this way until we get a total of 4 squares.

 

If you have any doubt while doing it, feel free to ask a question through the commentary section and I'll be answering.

 

 

Making a Mandala - Stept by Step 1

Wanted to share with you a video I made showing the step by step on how to make an 8 sided Mandala of 3 millimeters. I'll be publishing the step by step in 3 entries due to the duration of the video.

In this Video you'll see how I weave the center of one 4 sided figure that will end up being a diamond shape. Once I finish the centers of both 4 sided figures, we should set them together passing through the yarn in each of the 8 sides.
This part is one of the most difficult ones, so be patient and take all the time you need because both figures will move. When you do it, the same should be sturdy and with the sides equidistant from each other. Is not an easy job, but with practice each time will become better and much easier.

We continue with the process of setting together the two 4 sided figures. Remember to always leave the knots of the color changes in the back side of the Mandala, as we should avoid leaving them easy to the sight.

And now we get started doing "The Star"! We begin weaving by passing through the yarn in one end and going to the next one by leaving 2 consecutive ends without weaving and passing through the back the yarn. This means that will be weaving on the third end. 

We continue doing this process until we get to the size of our choice for the star.

Hope you like it!
